Euskadi-Navarre

Euskadi-Navarre is a Basque- and French- speaking republic in north-eastern Iberia. Until recently, it was a very turbulent state, and was eventually annexed to France. After the French Revolution, it became independent again, and has enjoyed relative peace.

Culture:

Euskadi-Navarre culture is heavily influenced by both French and Basque culture.

Sport:

The most popular sport is Pilota, a game that is played by two people in a two walled court. The object is to hit the ball off one or both of the walls and have it land in a place where the opposing team cannot get to it before it bounces on the ground twice. Gambling on the outcome of the match is allowed, and is, in many ways, the main attraction of the sport for spectators.

Food:

Navrrese food is very filling and hearty. The Basques were some of the first people to hunt whales, and both whale and fish features prominently in their cuisine. Meat form the land is also often a centrepiece of a Navarrese meal.
